  A great recipe. My daughter made this dish on Saturday for a South African food project and it was a hit with all the family. It will be great in the summer cooked on the BBQ. Goes very well with the Yellow Rice and apricot blatjang.

  I left the chicken to marinade all day and the result was wonderful. Will definitely make it again. How much garlic should be used as there is no mention of it in the recipe? I used a clove as I thought it might overpower the lime and ginger.

  Really simple to prepare and cook. I halved the recipe and used skinless chicken as that's what I had in. Also baked it instead of grilling - 30 mins at 200 degrees. I scrunched the foil close as suggested and it made the chicken really moist.

  Just delicious. Left to marinate for a day and then cooked in the oven but on a grill over a tray to catch all the juice. Used chicken thighs as I think have more taste and although I don't usually eat the skin, I did this time. Popped under the grill before serving to crispen them up. Very good.

  I made this for a BBQ and EVERYONE loved it. One set of friends (complete foodies!) asked for the recipe and have cooked it themselves since. I used breasts on the bone. My husband had the leftovers (not that there were many!) in sarnies the next day. Will definitely use again.

  I also made the recipe for a bbq (used drumsticks and thighs) after marinating overnight. Perhaps my limes weren't the tastiest because I thought the dish could have done with a little more flavour! I'm very interested to know how much garlic should be used though as I would make again adding more than one clove of garlic.

  In my rush to get this prepped, I didn't notice the mention of garlic and didn't put it in. Perhaps if I had, it would have given the recipe more oomph. As it was, it was tasty but not remarkable. I will do this recipe again but with the garlic. A good recipe to prepare ahead.

  Very tasty indeed! Cooked this for 2 but kept the quantities for the marinade as if for 4, used 2 cloves of garlic and popped it under the grill. Served this with rice with red onion, sweetcorn & mangetout -perfect, will make again!

  This dish is amazing! Have cooked it twice now. Works well done in the oven instead of grill (200c for around 25-30 minutes)
